Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Scattering amplitudes are fundamental quantities in gauge theory and in gravity. The standard method for calculating these quantities is the perturbative expansion of the path integral in terms of Feynman diagrams, which involves complex calculations. However the results are often surprisingly simple, which suggests strongly that there is unknown structure to be discovered in these theories. This may revolutionise the way we understand quantum field theory and possibly string theory, and lead to novel and efficient methods for calculating physical observables.This Workshop will be devoted to reviewing progress made in this area, highlight the fascinating connections to twistors and integrability, and stimulate interaction and collaboration among the participants.
